Jerry was a very loving person. He loved being with people. He loved giving and receiving hugs. He loved the outdoors, camping and hotdogs. He loved books and magazines and going on bus rides. He loved farm animals and dogs, especially Scooby Doo. But most of all Jerry loved the holiday, especially Christmas. Halloween was a close second.
